Houston Tea Party Draws More Than 10,000 Patriots

Nine months after the very first tea party was thrown by Liberty Belle in Seattle, Washington in February, 2009, the Tea Party Patriots are growing their numbers and everybody better be listening. As if NY-23 and Doug Hoffman were not a big enough message to the powers that be that we are just totally exhausted by your inability to do what we say, a timeout of godzilla proportions is coming. As I am a big believer in “always getting tape”, I will post videos about this tea party as they become available.

More than 10,000 people turned out Monday night for a North Houston Tea Party Patriots gathering to protest proposed health care reform and what they called big government spending and overzealous government leadership, according to preliminary attendance figures.

Under clear skies and a perfect moon, crowds packed the field at the Sam Houston Race Park and cheered loudly as speakers called for the people to take control of the American government. Wearing slogans that said “Don’t Tread on Me” and T-shirts stating, “I am a Tea Party Patriot — I will defend our Constitution,” those attending the event enthusiastically showed support for more constraints on the government and more personal freedom.

“This isn’t about ‘I can’t stand Barack Obama’ — this is about ‘I can’t stand a government that will tread on me,’ ” said Houston radio talk show host and TV anchor Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo to a rousing burst of applause from the audience.

“Taxes are going up because we have to pay for health care for people who are here illegally,” Pagliarulo said. “We have to pay for health care for people who don’t want health care … We’ve got a government that’s run amok — we’ve got a government that doesn’t care about you or me. It cares about power, it cares about control.”

Attendees stressed that Monday’s event — and their support of it — was not partisan in nature. Several of those in the audience said they feel all political parties have stopped listening to the people and that voters feel like they no longer have a voice in Washington.

“We vote primarily Republican, but they don’t seem to be that much different anymore than Democrats,” said Everett Cochran of Montgomery, who attended the rally with his wife, Donna. “Nobody in the party apparently is listening to what the moderates to conservatives are saying — all they’re listening to is the moderates to the liberals.”

Laureen Jones and Joan Orozco of The Woodlands said they attended to protest government spending as well as government-run health care.

“Basically, I think the country is going in the wrong direction quickly,” Orozco said. “I think the Constitution is being violated. People are tired of being told what the government is going to do to them.” (emphasis mine)

An exact attendance count was not available Monday night, but Sam Houston Race Park officials said preliminary numbers based on turnstiles indicated the crowd exceeded 10,000 people.

For The Love Of GOD! Is It Time YET To Arrest The Un-Constitutional Dictator?

UPDATE: US Loses AAA Credit Rating Under Obama's Watch How's that for standing on the wall and protecting America?

LIBYA ISN'T A WAR????? Nope, it's just a way to keep Gaddafi from putting the Libyan Dinar on a gold standard and collapsing the dollar, Japan, March Madness bracket picks, a fake BC, robosigning Patriot Act... How negligent, delinquent, and downright un-Constitutional do Obama's actions or lack thereof have to be before SOMEBODY in Congress calls his lame, apathetic and incompetent ass on the carpet? Anybody, anybody?

Can you say complicit and collaborators?

THIS is going to end very badly for some people...

How's my file coming along?

As for the rest of you moos, if we don't start putting our foot down with people who obviously have not cracked a history book ever we are going to get what we deserve - more Big Brother tactics from DHS. Aren't the cameras and the warrantless investigations because you may become a terrorist at some point in the future a bit much? Since when are we, as Americans that have read the Constitution, considered to be domestic terrorists? At what point do we tell them here's the line that you may not cross? The only thing they haven't taken from us now is the 2nd Amendment. And yes, I am going to keep poking both DHS and The Federal Reserve Mafia with big, pointy and very sharp, verbal sticks because both these overblown entities were given power by progressive asshats. Nope, not one frakkin' word about Bush 43 not being a progressive!

"The country is headed toward a single and splendid government of an aristocracy founded on banking institutions and moneyed incorporations and if this tendency continues it will be the end of freedom and democracy, the few will be ruling...I hope we shall...crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government to trial and bid defiance to the laws of our country. I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."
